Chris had a weird affected voice last night, it was like he was trying to mimic Sting's voice and just failing miserably at it.

Gwen looked pretty uncomfortable put in the position of mentoring. I think she pretty much knows that her voice really isn't that great and that it's everything else that's made her a huge star, but at the same time it's all promotion. Her voice is passable, and she prolly woulda been cool as a guest judge instead of mentor like they were doing a few years ago, but she isn't exactly an amazing singer. Performer yes, singer no.

I think its kind of crappy how theres no love for Sanjaya on the show from the other contestants, shows their true colors. I mean, really, who cares who stays and who leaves? Most of the people get record contracts anyway if they're any good. I think Sanjaya does have a strong fan base among the teenybopper crowd, and combine that to the VFTW crowd - he could go all the way. Maybe its just me, but it wouldn't be the end of the world, I could care less. If I don't like them, I don't buy their albums. I kind of feel sorry for the kid and how he's being villified.

^^ I feel bad for Sangina because I think he's going to be psychologically screwed after this show's over, but If I were a contestant in the competition I probably wouldn't show him any love either. If I were trying my best every week to sing my ass off and achieve my life-long dream, and some little shit was getting by each week by making a joke out of himself, I'd be bitter. And most of the ones voted off at this point usually don't get record deals, they just fade into obscurity.

Its not HIS fault that he keeps getting voted in, though, ya know what I'm saying? And either way, the people who ARE getting voted out at this stage of the game aren't the best, either, right? I mean, they have to be the second worst. So they deserve to "fade into obscurity" at this point if they don't get a record contract. Bottom line: if you're THAT GOOD, you'd still be in the competition, regardless of Sanjaya.
